The system works without interaction of service provider for registration and payment. This is the first hosting which gives test period up to 20 days for free upon registration. If you like the service, for future use you will simply need to pay fee using any payment terminals and will not need to go to their office.

Organizers of the event noted that such events will be held in Sughd and Khatlon regions early next month.
